Technical Definition

The register JKBMS cell 12 wire resistance at address 4704 is used to monitor jkbms cell 12 wire resistance on the Jkbms Modbus.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: Ω
  • Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read JKBMS cell 12 wire resistance (Address: 4704)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4704, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "JKBMS cell 12 wire resistance"
  address: 4704
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "Ω"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: JKBMS cell 12 wire resistance. Units: Ohms (Ω). Measures internal resistance of cell 12's connections and wiring.

Troubleshooting: High/erratic values indicate loose connections, corrosion, or damaged wires. Zero may indicate a short circuit or sensor failure.
